One may ask which of these three views is correct - well each school argues its case in depth and prolixity. The summary and take away information is that Param-ātma and jīvātma are intimately and inseparably related to each other and share three qualities:-
Krishna sums the relationship up in two verses:-
Asti = being

Visiṣṭhādvaita Vedānta - (Qualified non-duality) They are one but ontologically distinct, like a flower and its smell or like a picture and its pixels.
Bhāti = illumination - consciousness
Priyam = Love.

Dvaita Vedānta - (Duality) God and the individual Self are absolutely distinct and separate.
So these verses affirm the identity of God and the Individual Self and there are three views according to the three major schools of Vedānta.
Advaita Vedānta - (Non-duality) God (Paramātma) and the individual Self (jīvātma) are one and the same = identical.
